“The Blues are also a great anti- depressant. Also better than Valium. Love the books and blogs.” nora j mckiddie (@mckiddie_j), Michigan, USA, November 2, 2013

A young Jools Holland, left, and Dr John

sent this clip to me today from Melbourne, Australia.

In the tradition of the famous 1940s boogie woogie piano duets featuring Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson, the clip features a young Jools Holland from London and a young(ish) Dr. John from New Orleans.

Both, of course, are now legends in their own lifetimes.

Just click on the links below to experience boogie piano playing at its best.

First, watch two piano-playing pioneers of rock & roll in their boogie woogie pomp in the 1940s on the link below.

The other guy is Pete Johnson who cut the world’s second rock & roll record, Roll Em Pete, with Big Joe Turner, two years later in 1938.
